Got caught up with things... I AM updating the first post again with the contributors, again if you do not see your name listed there, please let me know so you get on the list!
*fails wildly in your general direction.
But you got Kasumi up there so it's all good.
I swear your name is up there!
@ Sydzilla, will have more pics and a vid of the book, shortly.
The PAX LI Appreciation Project: A Book of Fan-mail and Fan-art.
~All content for the PAX LI Appreciation Book of Letters and Fanart has now been collected, and the book is now in the middle stage of assembly.~
~Thanks to everyone who contributed, and especially to my new friends Aryss & Nick Arlov, who have/still are putting in a great amount of effort and time into assembling this project! Without them, and my indomitable will, none of this would have been possible. The two of them will be presenting the fanbook to EvilChris and Mike Gamble @ PAX- unfortunately, as it turned out, I'm unable to go due to family reasons.~
Here's a sneak peak of how the book is coming along: (A longer, updated vid and some pictures will be uploaded shortly). Stay tuned for pictures and/or video taken when the book is being presented! Final letter statistics:
Total: 130
All LI's/General: 19 Thane: 38 Miranda: 28 Jack: 23 Ashley 7 Jacob 6 Samara 4 Kaidan 3 Vega 2 Kasumi: 1* (Kasumi's letter is a general letter)
Fan Art Contributors: Mr Massakka, Emeraldfern, RShara, Kaija, AndreasShepard, Aislinn Trista, Hisilome, Ottemis, meonlyred, Swueegee83, chris fenton, o Ventus, bigCman123, Grimez7, Hadeedak, TriviaAeducan, PolymorphicGirl, Nube9, astric, Nightfable, Kaija.... *** Sorry if we forgot anyone. We didn't mean to. There's only three of us; me, Aryss & Nick Arlov, this project progressed faster than we anticipated and it has been several late nights of letter gathering, reading, spell and politeness-checking and doing battle with the book itself to make it worthy of presentation.
I was too late to make one of my own, but I was really happy with the letters in this topic discussing Miranda. No focus on her feelings with Cerberus going psycho, Miri not going aboard Normandy for her injuries to be treated after Sanctuary (thus no banter talk with people on Normady & no love scene with Shepard), not having Shepard convince people Miranda is a good person and is no longer with Cerberus, the descriptions of Miranda being strong, pragmatic, smart, etc. Even without my own letter, I'm more than content with the letters you Miranda fans sent. Thank you folks!

In another day or two, we'll make a digital version of the fanbook available for everyone.

I hope there is a response... Of course it´ll not be in the form of: Yeah, give us 2 weeks and we deliver a full fletched out dlc for all of them....
But something like: Thanks for the overwhelming response. We see how desperate you (our customers) are about that topic. We will discuss this and give an official answer later this month when we decided what we want to do.
Aryss and Nick ran into some, complications printing out the fan art. Bless them, they're currently rushing with their poor, sleep-deprived bodies to try and get themselves AND the fanbook we've spent the last few days on ready for the panel.
Rest assured, we are all determined (well, I'm determined from a distance, see?) to get the art into the book- it just means that a complete video and set of pictures is going to be a bit later than expected.
Here's a link to a more recent version of the book: most of the letters were in it- Aryss&Nick hadn't yet got to staples to print the fan art that will make the pages so much, brighter: .... I have no idea why the video is sideways.
Hey, seems like after the ending-change, this is the one of the most requested and (thanks to the book) probably one of the more discussed ideas at BioWare! I don't know if they will go for it, but this amazing project will definitely catch attention.
Holy Hellboy......that is ACTUALLY a book! Visii, Aryss and Nick Arlov: You guys are fabulous!! Phenominal job guys, and thank you Visii for keep this thread up. Goddess of the Universe.....Drell -Licks for everyone!

-Updated the first post with pictures. -Aryss & Nick worked some space magic on some Staples employee and so they don't have to wait two hours for the pictures to get printed. Or maybe it was indoctrination... either way, fan art is finally being added to the book!
Here's one of the first videos we took of the book:
And here is a more complete look at the book (sans fan art):
And now, for some pictures:
The Cover
Pages: plus pictures, rough estimate is that the bok around 80 pages, all told. Not bad for a few days' work.

Seconded! LOOKS AWESOME!!
And drell-licking also leads to the hallucination of the endings
I noticed Ieldra's name is in their twice, under the "Letter contributors" section, but mine isn't in there.
I'm now sad.
>_< Sorry, o Ventus. We only had six days to throw this thing together, and not much sleeping was done. Errors were made. Your letter is definitely in the book though.
It really looks awesome indeed, can't wait to see the final product with the fan art, and looking forward to see pics from you guys delivering it!!! awesome job!!!!! (wish I could buy a copy of it )

No Purchase Necessary!
Once we've had a few hours to breath and sleep and eat, we'll release a PDF version of the artbook for everyone.
